Director, magic5 Software

“Fast, accurate scanning and very straightforward integration.”

Challenge

  • Previous Scanner Issues: The team had long used ZXing.NET, which began failing and becoming unreliable, possibly due to changes in the customer’s barcode printing process.
  • Critical Accuracy: Barcode scanning is essential to eliminate human errors in delivery records, especially for items that might later face recall.
  • Pricing Constraints: Other solutions (Scandit, Scanbot) weren’t flexible with licensing, making them cost-prohibitive for a small user base.

Solution

  • barKoder Integration: barKoder offered fast, reliable scanning. More importantly, it provided a flexible pricing model that fit the project’s budget and prevented financial losses.
  • Efficient & Responsive Support: The support team quickly addressed minor functionality requests, providing a smooth integration process.

Result

  • Increased Reliability & Speed: Scanning performance improved, minimizing errors and streamlining the auditing process.
  • Straightforward Integration: The SDK was easy to implement, saving development time and effort.
  • Positive ROI: With flexible pricing and robust functionality, the project remained profitable.

Favorite Feature: “Speed.”
Reason to Recommend: “Fast and reliable scanning, straightforward integration.”
Additional Comment: “I appreciate that you were prepared to be flexible for pricing a small project.”
